Barbecue? BBQ?
No matter how you
spell it, the aroma and taste of anything smoked, rubbed and
slathered in sweet and spicy sauce makes our mouths water—and
nobody does barbecue better than Texas.
And when your
travels take you to Arlington, or one of the nearby Dallas
tourist attractions, you better come hungry (and with plenty of
moist towelettes). From ribs to hot links and fried okra to banana
pudding, here are the four Arlington restaurants that do Texas BBQ
right.

At Jambo’s, you
get the homey feel you expect from a Texas business claiming to offer
true Southern hospitality. You also get generous portions and
well-seasoned meats. The brisket is melt-in-your-mouth tender, as are
the ribs that you can so effortlessly pull off the bone. But, what
this barbecue joint is really known for is the Jambo Texan—a
sandwich containing every piece of meat on the menu (brisket,
bologna, pulled pork, sausage and ribs) piled sky high between pieces
of Texas Toast. The Sadie and bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos are
other customer favorites, and make sure you save some room for
homemade apple cobbler, or at least get it to go. If this location
doesn’t work, there are two more in the area, another in Arlington
and one in Rendon.

Cokers is one
local’s pick that doesn’t disappoint. For more than 17 years,
it’s been serving finger-lickin’ goodness amidst all of its
really cool and old Coca-Cola memorabilia. They slow smoke their
brisket and ribs until they’re lusciously tender. For an extra
kick, try their hot links or add their barbecue sauce with the pepper
sauce to your meats, and dip your side of fried okra in it too! The
pulled pork with Carolina sauce and stuffed baked potato are sure to
leave you satisfied.

Eddie Deen’s
offers lip-smackin’ good food for a great price, not to mention
really down to earth service. There are so many good items on their
menu, it’s hard to choose. But foods that always please the palate
are the ribs with their honey-glazed finish, braised brisket tacos,
collard greens, the spicy barracho beans and a slice of chocolate
fudge pecan pie. Perhaps something small this smokehouse has done
that is greatly appreciated by its customers is setting up a nice
area inside the restaurant where you can help yourself to as many
onions, peppers, pickles and the usual condiments you want.

This family-owned,
cafeteria-style service barbecue joint is the perfect fill-your-belly
kind of place to go after seeing a Rangers or Cowboys game. At
Bodacious Bar-B-Q, the sausage links are juicy and delicious, the
brisket is full of flavor and the ribs are so good you don’t even
need barbecue sauce—although their house-made Bodacious BBQ sauce
has just the right amount of spice to it. Top your meal off with some
tasty banana pudding or a fried pie.

Where to Stay

After treating
yourself to Arlington’s best barcue, treat yourself to one of
Arlington’s best hotels.

At this Holiday Inn
Express, you can expect a comfortable, clean and pleasant night’s
sleep. The hospitable staff, hotel amenities, complimentary breakfast
and central location to area attractions make this hotel perfect for
both single and family travelers.

A stay in
Arlington’s boutique hotel offers a wonderful experience. With
coffee in the lobby 24/7, as well as a pool, gym, business center and
onsite restaurant, this modern hotel was designed with business and
leisure travelers in mind.
